Most of what Josh said is correct. However, all symmetrical spinnakers I
have seen have the numbers on both sides of the spinnaker, so you don't
have to be concerned about which side is port and which side is
starboard.Before you buy any necessary gear for the spinnaker, learn about
end for end gy
It sounds like a symmetrical spinnaker. The luff and leach are the same
length... In fact they are interchangeable depending on the tack of the
boat.
You'll need a spinnaker pole roughly equal to the "J" length (head stay to
the mast). The pole is set parallel/in line with the boom, jaws facing
If luff and leech are the same length, it's a symmetrical kite. Don't let that
stop you flying it as if it was asymmetrical.

OK, seems like a dumb question. We spread out the cruising spinnaker on our
lawn today, having not put it up before on our new (to us) C&C 37/40+/. It is
in a spinnaker sock. The sheets were in the bag, but not attached to the sail.
It is made by UK. Along one edge is a bright green strip.
